[Ruri woke up, she was of two minds and neither of them meshed.  It'd be easier if that other voice wasn't screaming things in her head like 'memory default' or 'faulty backup data, please express caution' then other loud thoughts about cheerleader tryouts for next year didn't scream in her head in retaliation.]

"I....  So many memories...."

[Phone]

"I....  I am having odd thoughts...  Bad thoughts...  Ones that would make baby Jesus cry.  Does anyone want to help me forget about them?  I turn 16 on Thursday so maybe we could plan a party, or you could help me train for the chee....  No.  Those are stupid.  Such a headache.  Omoikane is trying to run a system scan on me but it keeps coming up in fault.  Does anyone else have things like this going on?"

[Ruri is sitting at the edge of the pool with a confused look]

"I know I prefer doing this but gosh, I need to practice if I want to make the team.  No.  Wait.  Still not right."

"Ruri, are you okay?"

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I... I don't know? I have so many things in my head and... None of them make sense."

[bridesearching.livejournal.com]

"Maybe you need to a break, Ruri. You must be stressed out with your birthday coming up and trying to make the cheerleader team!"

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Is... That what it is? Then... The Space? So many things in my head..."

...Ruri, are you okay? You were so excited about your birthday last week.

"I feel... Wrong.. I've been in Mayfield all my life, right Mrs. Laufeyjarson? I... I'm having flashes to another me that never came to Mayfield and... I'm just so confused."

What is wrong with everyone today?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I don't know. Maybe food poisoning? Just my head... I..."

[She sighs and rubs her eyes]

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Maybe you should rest a little.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Do... Do you think it would help me get past this? I wasn't out in the sun too much yesterday, was I?"

[doudemoe]

Is something wrong?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Minato. How long have I lived in Mayfield?"

[doudemoe]

Eh? We've been here all our lives. Unless I've known a different Ruri all this time.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

You're saying such weird things!

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I... I see."

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Don't you think it's a little weird?

[Phone]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Yes.

The town's doing something. There's something wrong and what's familiar isn't familiar anymore it's weird.

But it shouldn't be familiar in the first place. That's the problem. It shouldn't be familiar to friggin' begin with.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"You are the second person to agree with me. I think a lot of people are loosing to the town just... I..."

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I really don't know.

I mean it wasn't like this last Fourth of July? I mean last Fourth of July went by great?

...Didn't it?

Ah, you're having problems today as well? It must be the town's doing.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Can you help me figure out what is real?"

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

I can certainly try. Um, you're Ruri-chan... you told me you have younger brothers and you didn't know how to be a person until you were taught. Um, it seems like you're from the future... you've talked about knowing a lot about computers too.

Is this helping any?

O-Omoikane? System scan? [Only one half of her understood only half of that.] You're turning sixteen?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"My birthday is on the 7th. Omoikane is... He's the computer that's in my brain, but, also... I... So many conflicting thoughts."

[dimensioncannon.livejournal.com]

Sixteen's an important birthday, we should...plan it...[she didn't plan parties. Didn't she?] You've got a computer in your brain? You've--you've got two sets of memories?
